In winter temr 2024 the topics will cover: Types of gaining knowledge in Natural Sciences (descriptive - measuring - modelling), the quantitative approach as the basis of natural sciences. Models as an approximation to reality (for instance ideal gas). The way to the globe and heliocentrism, gravitation; how sure can (Natural) Sciences know? Ecosystems and environmental cycles. Biomedicine: current and ethical aspects.
